public String parseDateToddMMyyyy(String time) {
    String inputPattern = "yyyy-MM-dd";
    String outputPattern = "dd-MM-yyyy";
    SimpleDateFormat inputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(inputPattern);
    SimpleDateFormat outputFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(outputPattern);

    Date date = null;
    String str = null;

    try {
        date = inputFormat.parse(time);
        str = outputFormat.format(date);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

Here i am calling it

public void orderingResult(JSONArray Result) {    
for (int i = 0; i < Result.length(); i++) {
try {
     JSONObject jobj = Result.getJSONObject(i);
     try{               jobj.put("ausTimeJobDate",parseDateToddMMyyyy(jobj.getString("Job_Date")));
     }catch(Exception ex){
           ex.printStackTrace(); 
     }
  }catch(Exception ex){
       ex.printStackTrace();
  }

}

I am not able to understand why this function is calling multiple time

Note: this function is not recursive

Answer 1

How many times do you call this function? Create a SimpleDateFormat objects once, not every time you call.
